Choice of the Petal Throne

Description of App

In the Empire of the Petal Throne™, will you find glory, or a knife in your back?

"Choice of the Petal Throne" is a 124,000-word interactive fantasy novel by Danielle Goudeau, where your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based--without graphics or sound effects--and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

M.A.R. Barker's world of Tékumel™ is a fantasy universe like no other, where South American, Middle Eastern, and Indian cultures collide. The princes and princesses of the Tsolyáni empire vie for their father's mystical Petal Throne, tearing the nation apart with civil war and political intrigues.

As a captain in one of their armies, will you play as male or female, gay straight or bi? A brave and forthright soldier, a hedonistic intriguer with a heart of gold, or scheming double agent?

I still don't like the fact they did not paste in the iTunes description. That is after all the way this site works. To the poster who originally posted this, can you please edit it? So your post does not get removed? The description on the site itself does not tell me much in terms of what this game is.

Here is the description from the itunes store. I persoanlly will not be playing this game.

Hi Toonhead,
I just viewed your user profile. Don't you have any interests? Lol.
Check out mine!

Ah Ok. they did amend it. They had commented in accessibility and stuff and just said somethingh like check out this game. Cool cool! I'm glad it's been fixed.

So should I give it a try?

The work is based on a set of rulebooks and RPGs from Japan written by a professor there I think. The story is very typical, if you are interested at all in the world building of RPGs, it's actually not bad for what it is. Give it a try for the fantasy alone.

How much does this book cost?
